- "Whoa... This is amazing... Who'd ever need this much underwear...?"
- — Clover, misreading the room's name as "Panty"
The Pantry is an escape room behind the red Chromatic Door on Floor B. Sigma is able to investigate this room if he chooses to betray Luna in the first round. He investigates this room with Alice and Clover on Dio's route.
Layout[]
Concept art.
The Pantry is a big room that has a large storage device for food on the right wall. The food inside the storage can be kept there for a couple hundred years. Towards the entrance of the room is a touch screen computer and a water storage tank. Across from the food storage device is a dolly that can heat up food and another touch screen computer built into it. Next to the food heater is a safe. The room has two shelves that store food and pastries, and to the left of those is a storage device with ice cubes inside it.
Story[]
After heading through the red door with Alice and Clover on Dio's route, Sigma and the other two find themselves inside of this room. When entering, Clover is surprised as she thinks that the room is completely stored with panties, since she misread the sign as "Panty". Alice corrects her and says that it is a Pantry, where food is stored. Clover's face turns red from embarrassment and she laughs, realizing her mistake. After pointing out a large water tank, Alice notes that there is a lot of food. Clover says that they might be in a quarantine zone because of the abundance of food and water, and she thinks that the newspaper article might be true. Sigma insists that he isn't infected with Radical-6 and thinks they should find the moon cards and get out of the room as quickly as possible.
During their search, Sigma and Alice keep annoying Clover about underwear and continue to tease her about her mistake. After opening the room's safe, Sigma finds a map of floor B, two moon cards, and the exit key. Sigma gives one card to Clover, because she is a solo, while Sigma and Alice hang on to the other card. After leaving the room, Sigma, Clover, and Alice quickly head back to the elevator on Floor B.

Minigames[]
Filling the empty containers[]
A chart showing potential hydrogen values.
You have to pour water with the correct pH levels into the water tanks that you found on the dolly. Go over to the water tank. To test the pH level, you can use the beaker on the faucet, then combine the water with the pH test chemical. One of the notes that you found in this room shows you how to figure out the pH level based on the color. Press a number button to the left of the faucet to change the pH level of the water that comes out.
When the number next to the faucet is 0, the pH is 6.
- Press +3 and use the basic water tank on the faucet. Do this for the other basic tank as well.
- Press +1 and use the neutral tank on the faucet.
- Press -2 and use the acidic tank on the faucet.
Put all four of the water tanks back into the dolly.
Ice Cube Shift[]
Ice cube sliding.
This minigame is accessed after placing the button into the ice chest. In this minigame, the player must guide the ice cube with the key card to the hole. However, each ice cube freezes after a certain amount of moves and cannot be moved again. The trick is to freeze certain ice cubes in certain places so that the one with the key can get through the hole. This minigame is harder on the 3DS version because of the gyro controls that cause the blocks to move when you move the system. It is easier to just use the d-pad on the system.
The solution is right, down, left, down, right, down, left, right, down, left, down.
Shelf ID Input[]
Too easy!
This minigame requires the player to input a list of numbers and letters based on the calendar pages on the dolly, the pantry shelves, and the calendar found on the wall. The following input is derived from the days:
- January 13th (1/13) corresponds to 1 2 3-E-3. This produces the Box of meat rations.
- March 27th (3/27) corresponds to 1 2 3-B-14. This produces the Box of fish rations.
- May 7th (5/7) corresponds to 4 5 6-A-7. This produces the Box of salad rations.
- July 30th (7/30) corresponds to 7 8 9-A-6. This produces the Box of soup rations.
- November 11th (11/11) corresponds to 10 11 12-G-6. This produces the Box of pasta rations.
If you input the day Sigma was knocked out (the day the man was abducted), you receive the file password.
- December 25th (12/25) corresponds to 10 11 12-B-13.

Nutritional Balance[]
Good game to help with your nutrition.
This minigame is accessed after getting all of the rations from the Shelf ID minigame and putting the different kinds of water into the microwave machine. This minigame requires the player to use the Nutritional Chart and the Nutritional Balance Chart to assign meals to persons A through E. This minigame can also be solved by trial and error because once one person's meal is correct, you can't move that person's meals anymore.
The solution:
- A: One of every meal (cannot be altered)
- B: 2 salad, 2 soup, 1 fish
- C: 2 meat, 1 salad, 1 pasta, 1 soup
- D: 2 fish, 1 meat, 1 salad, 1 pasta
- E: 2 pasta, 1 meat, 1 fish, 1 soup
